Trade union federations Saftu and Cosatu have called on all South Africans to stay at home on Wednesday in support of its national shutdown.

Thousands of South Africans across the country are either expected to stay at home or join protests against the high cost of living.

"Santaco would like to pronounce that Santaco is not part of any shutdown or any stay away that is planned by whomever, we are not part of it,” says the organisation’s Bafana Magagula.

"The president of Santaco has not yet pronounced on any strike. Taxis will be operating normally tomorrow.”
